Sheehan was also a factor in holding off Rocky Hill's guards to a minimum by being active and disruptive. Although this game was highlighted by her shooting ability, it would be a mistake to label her as just a shooter. She brings so much more to the game, the intangibles really put her in another level. [player_tooltip player_id='967969' first='Ryanne' last='Sheehan'] is the real deal. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eSheehan has a lot more basketball to play to climb the ranks in her class, however it should be noted she will be a highly sought after college prospect. Exactly what coaches are looking in a winning program. There is so much more room for growth as a scorer, but you cannot deny the upside Ryanne has.
